    Hello,

    Use the "slmgr.vbs /cpky" command to remove the product key from the registry to protect it from being compromised.

    However, publickeytoken="31bf3856ad364e35" doesn't seem to be relevant to this command. This PublicKeyToken is typically related to the signing of .NET assemblies and not to Windows activation or product key management.
